Active Sports in Cornwall

Active Sports in Cornwall

Cornwall’s rugged terrain and surrounding ocean provide perfect conditions for outdoor sports and nature lovers. If you are expert, you can go it alone or in groups.

If you have always been tempted by adventure sports, but have yet to try them out, Cornwall is a great destination. Specialised schools offer tuition and training in surfing, bodyboarding, windsurfing, canoeing as well as inland and sea kayaking.

Staying off the water (but not entirely away from it), there are courses in climbing, abseiling, and coastal walking. Orienteering courses may mean you’ll never get lost in the woods again.

Coastal Traversing will have you picking your way across cliffs and outcrops that only seabirds have ever visited. You don’t have to invest all of your holiday time, as day courses are available.

You can even have a paintball “shootout”, or, if you prefer a more traditional outing, climb aboard your bike or pull on your walking boots, and follow the Cornish Way, a countywide network of trails for cyclists, walkers, equestrians and, wherever possible, mobility impaired.

Six interlinked signposted trails, including the Camel Trail, stretch between Bude to Land's End, providing access to the countryside and lesser known rural areas. The trails pass through Cornwall’s distinctive landscapes and have links to public transport facilities and visitor attractions.

Cornwall’s Eden Project

Cornwall’s Eden Project

You will need more than one holiday to do justice to this remarkable region, with its beautiful estuaries, creeks, byways, countryside, villages, country pubs and moors. Apart from its natural beauty, Cornwall is also home to the Eden Project, a fabulous man-made monument to Nature, and mankind’s dependence on plants. A stunning array of plant life is on show, including endangered and rare local varieties of flora and trees from the rainforests as well as the Mediterranean and California.

Just outside Mevagissey, you will find another tribute to Nature, the world-renowned Lost Gardens of Heligan. The gardens were recovered from a jungle of bramble and undergrowth after years of neglect and now boast an amazing array of fauna and flora. There is a lost valley of bamboo and ferns dotted with sculptures, ponds and wildflower meadows as well as fully restored flower and vegetable gardens.

Cornwall is indeed full of surprises, not least of which might be the high standard of dining to be found. This is, after all, the true home of the Cornish Pasty, and fish and chips with today’s catch is a cut above what you will find elsewhere. But the regions fresh fish and seafood as well as high quality local produce has drawn many fine chefs to add to the local talent, and crab, lobster, oyster and mussel dishes now appear prominently on local menus.

A holiday in Cornwall makes for a truly exceptional adventure. From windsurfing school in Cornwall, to Newquay surfing, and Falmouth sailing, this small corner of England offers much to its guests. Cornwall is home to such natural beauty that it begs to seen and explored. One tremendous way to explore is by cycling in Cornwall. It boasts trails made for just such occasions. Perranporth beaches are surprisingly lovely and the resorts in Bude cater to families and romantic getaways. Cornwall Tourism Information Guide hopes you have a remarkable holiday in Cornwall.
